The president may look incompetent on Syria. But his behavior fits his strategy to weaken America abroad.

It is entirely understandable that Barack Obama's
way of dealing with Syria in recent weeks should have elicited responses
ranging from puzzlement to disgust. Even members of his own party are
despairingly echoing in private the public denunciations of him as
"incompetent," "bungling," "feckless," "amateurish" and "in over his
head" coming from his political opponents on the right.
For how else to characterize a president who declares war against
what he calls a great evil demanding immediate extirpation and in the
next breath announces that he will postpone taking action for at least
10 days—and then goes off to play golf before embarking on a trip to
another part of the world? As if this were not enough, he also assures
the perpetrator of that great evil that the military action he will
eventually take will last a very short time and will do hardly any
damage. Unless, that is, he fails to get the unnecessary permission he
has sought from Congress, in which case (according to an indiscreet
member of his own staff) he might not take any military action after
all.

President Obama on Friday at the G-20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Summing up the net effect of all this,
as astute a foreign observer as Conrad Black can flatly say that, "Not
since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, and before that
the fall of France in 1940, has there been so swift an erosion of the
world influence of a Great Power as we are witnessing with the United
States."
Yet if this is indeed the pass to which Mr. Obama has led us—and I
think it is—let me suggest that it signifies not how incompetent and
amateurish the president is, but how skillful. His foreign policy, far
from a dismal failure, is a brilliant success as measured by what he
intended all along to accomplish. The accomplishment would not have been
possible if the intention had been too obvious. The skill lies in how
effectively he has used rhetorical tricks to disguise it.The key to understanding what Mr.
Obama has pulled off is the astonishing statement he made in the week
before being elected president: "We are five days away from
fundamentally transforming the United States of America." To those of us
who took this declaration seriously, it meant that Mr. Obama really was
the left-wing radical he seemed to be, given his associations with the
likes of the anti-American preacher Jeremiah Wright and the unrepentant
terrorist Bill Ayers, not to mention the intellectual influence over him
of Saul Alinsky, the original "community organizer."So far as domestic affairs were
concerned, it soon became clear—even to some of those who had persuaded
themselves that Mr. Obama was a moderate and a pragmatist—that the
fundamental transformation he had in mind was to turn this country into
as close a replica of the social-democratic countries of Europe as the
constraints of our political system allowed. Since he had enough support for the
policies that this objective entailed, those constraints were fairly
loose, and so he only needed a minimum of rhetorical deception in
pursuing it. All it took was to deny he was doing what he was doing by
frequently singing the praises of the free-enterprise system he was
assiduously working to undermine, by avoiding the word "socialism," by
invoking "fairness" as an overriding ideal and by playing on resentment
of the "rich."
But foreign policy was another matter. As a left-wing radical, Mr.
Obama believed that the United States had almost always been a
retrograde and destructive force in world affairs. Accordingly, the
fundamental transformation he wished to achieve here was to reduce the
country's power and influence. And just as he had to fend off the
still-toxic socialist label at home, so he had to take care not to be
stuck with the equally toxic "isolationist" label abroad. This he did by camouflaging his
retreats from the responsibilities bred by foreign entanglements as a
new form of "engagement." At the same time, he relied on the
war-weariness of the American people and the rise of isolationist
sentiment (which, to be sure, dared not speak its name) on the left and
right to get away with drastic cuts in the defense budget, with exiting
entirely from Iraq and Afghanistan, and with "leading from behind" or
using drones instead of troops whenever he was politically forced into
military action.The consequent erosion of American
power was going very nicely when the unfortunately named Arab Spring
presented the president with several juicy opportunities to speed up the
process. First in Egypt, his incoherent moves resulted in a complete
loss of American influence, and now, thanks to his handling of the
Syrian crisis, he is bringing about a greater diminution of American
power than he probably envisaged even in his wildest radical dreams.
For this fulfillment of his dearest political wishes, Mr. Obama is
evidently willing to pay the price of a sullied reputation. In that
sense, he is by his own lights sacrificing himself for what he imagines
is the good of the nation of which he is the president, and also to the
benefit of the world, of which he loves proclaiming himself a citizen.
The problem for Mr. Obama is that at least since the end of World War
II, Americans have taken pride in being No. 1. Unless the American
people have been as fundamentally transformed as their country is
quickly becoming, America's decline will not sit well. With more than
three years in office to go, will Mr. Obama be willing and able to
endure the continuing erosion of his popularity that will almost
certainly come with the erosion of the country's power and influence?
No doubt he will either deny that anything has gone wrong, or failing
that, he will resort to his favorite tactic of blaming others—Congress
or the Republicans or Rush Limbaugh. But what is also almost certain is
that he will refuse to change course and do the things that will be
necessary to restore U.S. power and influence.
And so we can only pray that the hole he will go on digging will not
be too deep for his successor to pull us out, as Ronald Reagan managed
to do when he followed a president into the White House whom Mr. Obama
so uncannily resembles. Mr. Podhoretz was the editor of Commentary from 1960-95. His most recent book is "Why Are Jews Liberals?" (Doubleday, 2009).

MUST SEE, Congressman Gowdy rips Obama to Shreds

Since taking office, Obama has invested billions of taxpayer dollars in private businesses, including as part of his stimulus spending bill. Many of those investments have turned out to be unmitigated disasters — leaving in their wake bankruptcies, layoffs, criminal investigations and taxpayers on the hook for billions...............Didn't think you were hiring a stock broker when you voted him in did you? Obama thinks your money is his to piss away on big likely to fail companies (more like funnels for cronies to sift dollars through the untraceable system of alternative energy company fronts) Where did the trillions go? He's still in office....THAT'S where the staggering amount of tax payer's dollars went: payoffs, bribes, organized mob scenes, extravagant daily life on top of wildly frequent vacations, just to mention a few.

Smith Act of 1940

The Alien Registration Act of 1940, usually called the Smith Act because the antisedition section was authored by Representative Howard W. Smith of Virginia, was adopted at 54 Statutes at Large 670-671 (1940). The Act has been amended several times and can now be found at 18 U.S. Code § 2385 (2000).

§ 2385. Advocating Overthrow of Government.

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or

Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or

Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof--

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

As used in this section, the terms "organizes" and "organize", with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.

OBAMA AND OBAMACRATS ARE IN VIOLATION OT THE SMITH ACT. "ANY GROUP" IS NOT EXCLUSIONARY OF THAT WHICH RESIDES WITHIN THE "GOVERNMENT" . THIS IS THE LEAST OF HIS CRIMES.
